Chapter 497: Mountain Spring Water
Lu Jueyu knew from Da Niu’s expressions that she liked what she ate. She looked at her with a smile and asked, “Da Niu, how was it?”

Li Shu came to her senses after hearing her words and said, “Aunt Li, it’s so delicious and refreshing! This is my first time eating this.”

“Then bring some back to share with your brother.”

Hearing her words, Li Shu’s eyes lit up and she said with a smile, “Thank you, Aunt Li.”

It took them nearly two hours to make the candied fruits. When Li Shu returned home, Lu Jueyu gave her three sticks of each kind of candied fruit and asked her to come and visit often.

As soon as she put the candied fruits into her space, Dong Li and Dong Huang came back from school. Looking at the position of the sun, Lu Jueyu calculated the time and found that her foster children were more than an hour late today.

When she saw Feng Lin, Lu Wenmu, and Lu Wenyi walking behind her foster children, she smiled.

When Lu Wenyi and Lu Wenmu saw her, they quickly ran over, hugged her legs, and said, “Little Aunt!”

“Don’t run, be careful of falling.” Lu Jueyu reminded them.

Lu Wenmu threw himself on her and said aggrievedly, “Little Aunt, Xiao Mu misses you very much. I asked my cousin to pick me up, but it took him many days before he came to pick me.”

Thinking of her promise to him, Lu Jueyu pinched his nose gently and said with a smile, “Little Aunt misses Xiao Mu very much too. Do you want to eat steamed eggs?”

Xiao Mu nodded like a chicken pecking at rice and said, “Xiao Mu wants it!”

Standing in front of her were Dong Li, Dong Huang, and Feng Lin, who stepped forward to greet her.

“Foster mother, Xiao Huang, and I went to visit our grandparents first and then came back. Sorry for not informing you first,” Dong Li said.

It’s okay, both of you can go visit your Grandpa and Grandparents more often, just pay attention to safety when you go out.” Lu Jueyu smiled.

She looked at Feng Lin and asked, “Xiao Lin, how is your arm?”

After ten days of eating the food and tonic wine she sent, Feng Lin’s complexion became better and better, and he also gained some weight.

Feng Lin handed her the bamboo basket in his hand and said, “Aunt Li, I’m fine now. Although I still can’t move it, it doesn’t hurt like before. These are some mushrooms and fruits picked by my grandma. Please don’t dislike it.”

Although the value of the gift was much lower than what she gave to the Feng family, Lu Jueyu was grateful for their gift. What matters is not the monetary value of the gift, but the intent of the giver.

She accepted the bamboo basket and said with a smile, “Freshly picked mushrooms are the most delicious. Aunt Li likes them very much. Please thank your grandma for me.”

Hearing her words, Feng Lin heaved a sigh of relief and felt happy. He nodded and said with a smile, “I will.”

Lu Jueyu turned to look at her adopted son and said, “Xiao Li, take your brothers and sisters to wash their hands and faces first. When your foster father comes back, we will have lunch together.”

After hearing her words, the children went to the backyard to wash themselves and wipe their sweat while she went to the kitchen to make steamed eggs.

Different from the well water or river water near his home, Feng Lin felt that the water in Li Chenmo’s house was much clearer. It was refreshing, and he could smell a hint of sweetness. He was curious about the source of the water and asked, “Xiao Huang, where does your water come from? It’s really refreshing.”

Dong Huang pointed in the direction of the bamboo forest and said, “The water in my house comes from the river. My foster father said the water is mountain spring water. That’s why it is clearer and more refreshing.”

Seeing that the river behind the house was indeed relatively close to the mountain, Feng Lin nodded and said, “It’s good to live near the mountain. My house is far away from the mountain, and the river water tastes similar to well water.”

When Dong Huang heard this, she thought for a while and said, “Brother Lin, how about you bring some water back later. My foster mother said that it is not good to drink well’s water for a long time. You can use the water from my house as drinking water so you won’t get sick.”

Hearing what she said, Feng Lin felt grateful, but he still shook his head and said, “Thank you, Xiao Huang. But there is no need to do this. My home is far away, and with my current conditions, it is too troublesome to bring water back.”

Before Dong Huang could speak, Dong Li said, “Xiao Lin, if you want, I can send some water to your house later. I have been learning to ride a bicycle with my foster father these days. When my adoptive father comes back, I will use it to send you back.”

Feng Lin was surprised that Dong Li could ride a bicycle and asked, “Brother Dong Li, won’t it be too dangerous for you to do this? After all, you have just started learning.”

Dong Li waved his hand and said comfortingly, “Don’t worry. If I install the carts on both sides, the bicycle will not tip over. I can also bring more water. That way we don’t have to go back and forth.”

Feng Lin considered the pros and cons and said with a smile, “Then I’ll thank Brother Dong Li first.”

While the children were chatting in the backyard, Lu Jueyu took out ten eggs from her own space. Although the method of steaming eggs is simple, the proportion and temperature of water are very important. Too many eggs will cause the curds to be hard, and too much water will prevent the mixture from becoming solid.
